Passengers with motor disabilities

For information on wheelchair-accessible routes and stops in the urban and suburban area, please visit Linee e orari - Torino e cintura, use Telegram "gttorari" or Moovit app.

Most of our buses are equipped with a designated wheelchair space.

After boarding, position yourself in the dedicated wheelchair space and follow the instructions reported on the stickers displayed on board.

A wheelchair (whether manual or electric) is allowed on a public trasport if its weight is within the loading capacity limits of the access ramp of the vehicle. Furthermore, while on board, it is required to be safely positioned (rearward-facing and with the wheel brake applied) in the designated space.

The load capacity of the ramp is 300 kg

How to travel with pushchairs, and other information for all

• Pushchairs are allowed free of charge in the vehicles. Please place them in order  to ensure the other passengers’ comfort
• Open pushchairs can be placed in the wheelchair zones with the brakes applied

• If a wheelchair user boards the same carriage, they have priority in using these designated spaces. In this case, you can remain on board but you have to fold your pushchair and hold your child in your arms. If needed, the driver will kindly ask other passengers to give up their seat.

• Brand- new buses are equipped with 4 yellow-painted seats (on other vehicles, they are blue-painted with yellow borders), which are accessible to people with motor disabilities: stop request buttons with Braille lettering are placed beside them.
